Abstract

Muon fields at Fermilab were measured during 1980-81 using a Mobile Environmental Radiation Laboratory (MERL). During the spring of 1980, measurements were made with the accelerator operating at 350 GeV; in the spring of 1981, measurements were made at 400 GeV. The measurements were used to obtain an understanding of muon dose-equivalent rates at various locations both on and off the Fermilab site. These were found to be less than 1 mrem/yr at any given location. The data indicate that more severe problems may be encountered during operations of the 1000 GeV accelerator presently being installed.
